I have orders from Cally to play an Investigative Committee 3
Cally is my hero this crisis check! Now lets hope Destiny is on our side.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

The running tally is 8 + Destiny, three over the pass level. Will that be enough? Destiny adds:

Consolidate Power 2
Critical Situation 5

Tally: 10 - 5 = 5. Exact pass! The unsettling stories have been resettled after a hasty rewrite. There is no Treachery in the check, so no Recklessness to account for. Boo.

Next, the raiders activate. Starbuck again has company, as do the RSVs in Sector 6. Due to Constant Barrage, four more raiders launch from the basestars. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Gaeta)

Tally: 10 - 5 = 5. Exact pass!

NICE. I would have kicked myself if we'd been short.

President Baltar, now is the time to jump. The next Raider activation is very likely to destroy at least one civvie, if not more. I'll take care of us.

(I suggest you step away from Roslin first, by the by.)

Well, the Gods didn't think I was worthy of an XO. This is bad, as I was hoping to xo Gaeta out of the sickbay. Thanks for the heads up on Laura. I guess this means I need to burn a card to return to Galactica and push the FTL button myself. damn.

OK. I DISCARD God's Plan 2 to MOVE to Galactica FTL control.

My ACTION is to activate the room, and push the big JUMP button.

Button: pushed! There's a die roll with 1 Population at risk. It can be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

Orders from Starbuck: she plays a Strategic Planning 4.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. But wait! Gaeta uses his reroll:
Die reroll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! All ships accounted for. Destinations are now going out to the Admiral. Admiral Helo, when you're ready, please post where the fleet is going. Without you.
